Seriously: It's a beautifull and entertaining complication when it's visible but it was concieved to run on pocket watches and those are standing in the pocket most of them time originaly. Meaning that the tourbillon got his best efficiency on accuracy of the movement when it stand vertical.
The problem is that a wrist watch is far to be sitting vertically most of it's time... Concluding that the efficiency of the tourbillon is far to be optimum on a wrist watch.
BUT! Some manufacturers took the tourbillon to it's optimal fonction by making it gyroscopic or simply explained: Following gravity and thereby beeing allways vertical;)
So if your tourbillon is gyroscopic, you exploit it optimaly....If not, you don't...
So noone should throw ninja-stars to Jeff
